Boldness: Speaking the Truth

The truth of Jesus Christ often goes against the culture and beliefs of the people. It can take great courage to speak the truth of Christ to those who hate what He stands for.

Sometimes, following Jesus means facing persecution and dangers to proclaim who He is. Please ask God to give courage to those who minister for His name's sake.

Scripture

Ac 23:11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, "Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."

Prayer

Father, You alone are God and there is no one else like You. The earth is Yours and everything in it, the world and all who live in it. Let Your mighty hand of grace and mercy be extended to bless Your servants.

Lord, just as you encouraged Paul and gave him grace to testify in Jerusalem, I ask that You would give Nakama of Papua New Guinea the grace to speak boldly in Your name. Cause courage to rise up in their hearts and empower their words with boldness, that they might proclaim all the truth of Your word. In Jesus name, I rebuke the spirit of fear that would hinder Nakama of Papua New Guinea from freely testifying that Jesus is Lord.
